Deuteronomy 7[edit]

I looked at Deuteronomy 7 after seeing this episode on TV tonight but there is no verse that even remotely deals with gambling or superstition, I added that to the trivia. Mdanziger 01:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why, Oh God Why[edit]

Were the quotes removed, or moved to wikiquote? If they were do they need the link?

Fair use rationale for Image:AABF06.jpg[edit]

Image:AABF06.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

Wikilink Fox network
"Springfield is without a casino when Mr. Burns' Casino is demolished. However, a confusion over whether demolitions are supposed to involve implosions or explosions results in the casino being blasted into a huge dust cloud. " This may be out of order. When was the casino demolished? Your wording implies it is destroyed two times.

How do David M. Stern and Neil Affleck relate to the show (producers? etc)
"The morning after having drinking extensively," Fix
"wether " -> whether
'since it would "raise some question."' Raise some question, or questions?

It's question. Queenieacoustic (talk) 13:19, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"christian's travel" Capitalize Christian
"On August 7, 2007, the episode was released as part of The Simpsons: The Complete Tenth Season DVD set." Needs ref
This is not a reliable ref. I'm sure you can find something better, considering the popular topic.

Also, make sure direct quotes have refs directly after the sentence (even if the same citation covers the following sentence). I've found a bunch of examples in the article. Other than that and the comments above, the article looks really good. Awesome job researching it! I'll place it on hold for seven days to be fixed. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 00:13, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I think I've fixed all the issues now, if there's anything else, just tell me. Queenieacoustic (talk) 13:19, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Just add a publisher for ref #9, and it will be good to go. Ruby2010 comment! 15:54, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for the review! Queenieacoustic (talk) 21:02, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good! Pass for GA. Nice work, Ruby2010 comment! 22:18, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Boomhauer[edit]

Why is Boomhauer listed as a cameo? I don't remember him being in that episode nor can I find anything on the subject. Anyone have a citation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.5.223 (talk) 22:40, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Off the top of my head, I can't remember. I can watch it and get back to you within a few days. CTF83! 01:11, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
